Summary
This study examined hip joint changes in coxarthrosis patients, revealing significant osteogenetic alterations in the femur and acetabulum. Findings indicate these morphological changes are common in hip osteoarthritis.
Area of Science:
- Orthopaedics
- Radiology
- Rheumatology
Background:
- Coxarthrosis (hip osteoarthritis) involves degenerative changes in the hip joint.
- Understanding the morphologic and osteogenetic changes is crucial for diagnosis and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the morphologic and osteogenetic changes of the hip joint in patients diagnosed with coxarthrosis.
- To analyze the prevalence and characteristics of osteophytes and acetabular changes.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 224 patients with coxarthrosis treated at the Department of Orthopaedics.
- Radiographic examination of 331 hips to assess changes in the femur head, neck, and acetabulum.
Main Results:
- Osteogenetic changes on the femur head were observed in 44.71% of cases.
- Osteophytes were frequently found on the femur head (upper and lower) and acetabulum roof (44.73%).
- Medial cervical osteophytes were present in 65.56% of hips, predominantly type 1.
Conclusions:
- Patients with coxarthrosis exhibit diverse morphological and osteogenetic changes in the femur and acetabulum.
- The specific radiographic features are influenced by the cause and severity of coxarthrosis.
